[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, one of the mistakes I made as a young adult was to vastly overestimate the importance of friends. It turns out they are not very important. Your family and your husband are many orders of magnitude more important even if it feels that your friends understand you much better. I am now barely in touch with college friends I spent hundreds of hours discussing what I thought were the most important things in the world... but turned out not to be. At all.

Focus on your husband and your family and dial down contacts with your friends if they remain a source of frustration. [/quote]

Wow, can I just say I think this is horrible advice?? How old are you, PP?[/quote]
I’m a NP and I don’t think it’s necessarily think it’s  horrible advice. I agree in fact. I spent my 20s and early 30s cultivating a large group of women friends, going our, having lunch, getting nails done, when are we gonna have a Girls night oooooooout? I need some girl time! Etc. 
I should have been focusing on my kids and husband. Now at 40, almost all of those women are involved in girl drama with their kids, or drinking pitifully. 
Theee close friends I can confide in but don’t have desire for a GNO? That’s gold. And enough. [/quote]

Just as it’s bizarre that OP actually has three different friends who are caricatures of reality tv stars, it’s equally bizarre that all of your female friends have become pathetic, drunken fools. [/quote]
